quote of the day
“we are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. the potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. we know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. in the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.”

“albert camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
tom robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.
camus clearly got up on the wrong side of the bed, and robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
there is only one serious question. and that is:
who knows how to make love stay?
answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.”
-tom robbins, still life with woodpecker
